*Chapter Ten*

"You were right," Rebekah said reentering the house. Asher instantly goes towards her. She had gone to confront Marcel and left Asher behind. She didn't want Marcel seeing Asher, not yet at least. "The girl, Cami, she's the key. Marcel likes her, and because of that I got to see the secret weapon of his that you've been going on about."

"Well, don't stand on ceremony. What is it?" Klaus asks holding Claire against his chest. The main room of the plantation is filled. The only people missing were Jamie, who's getting a snack for himself and Bonnie, Hanna's parents and siblings, who are already in bed, and Archie, who's still with the hybrids.

"It's not a what, it's a who," Rebekah told them. "A girl, Davina. She can't be more than 16, and I have never felt power like that" Rebekah tells them, leaning into Asher.

"A witch" Henrik realizes.

"She's not just any witch, she's something I've never seen before, something beyond powerful," Rebekah told her brother.

"It makes sense" Henrik mutters. "She must have a stronger ability to sense magic. That's how Marcel knows, she senses it and tells him." 

"Snitch" Asher mutters.

"Where is she?" Klaus asks. Rebekah thinks, her eyebrows frown.

"That clever bitch. I don't know" Rebekah whispers.

"What's wrong?" Henrik asks moving closer to his sister. Asher's grip around her visibly tightens.

"She wiped my memory of the location." Claire's eyes widened. It's not easy for people to enter an Original's mind, this witch must really be strong. "Marcel possesses a weapon bigger and more powerful than an Original" Rebekah tells them.

"How can we go up against someone like that?" Bonnie asked.

"We outnumber her," Hanna told her. "She's one witch, we're an entire cover. Together we stand, divided we fall. She's apart from her coven, the witches here are scared and they don't know who to trust. They don't even know if they can trust each other. We stick together, we work together, and we will win" Hanna reassured the more nervous minds in the room.

"If we can't overpower them, we'll just destroy them" Kol shrugs. "Destroy the city, rebuild. Might take a century or two before we get travelers again but worst comes to worst" Kol tells them grinning. 

A part of Kol hoped their plan worked, for Claire's sake, but a bigger part wanted to destroy the city and everyone in it. He hates this city, even more now that Claire and Madelyn are in danger. 

"That's the last resort," Claire said making it absolutely clear to the more murderous minds in the room.

"Of course, Angel" Kol smiles zipping towards her. He presses his lips on her forehead. "Whatever you want" He mutters.

"Well, at least we know what, or who, Marcel's secret weapon is. It's a step in the right direction" Claire said.

"That it is, sweetheart" Klaus kisses the crown of her head as the group slowly disperses. Bonnie, Caroline, and Enzo join Jamie in the kitchen. Rebekah and Asher wonder up to their room. Penelope goes to find an empty room with a TV hoping to have some peace and quiet, which is hard to find in such a packed house.

"Don't stress over this, we'll find this Davina and figure something out" Hanna smiles at Claire. Claire smiles back and pulls the dark-haired Australian into a tight hug. "Try and get some rest, sweetheart" She whispers rubbing her back. Claire nods and slowly lets her go. Hanna leaves for her room.

"I think you should take Hanna's advice," Elijah said walking up to Claire. "Don't stress and get some sleep" She smiles at him. "It's been a long day" He mutters. She smiles and reaches up to kiss his lips.

"Good night, handsome" She whispers. He smiles and gives her a small hug.

"Good night, Elskan" He whispers back before going to the office.

"I'm going to talk to Hanna and see what she thinks we can do to stop Davina, let us handle this," Henrik said and Claire smiles.

"You know I'm not one to just sit back and let people do stuff for me" Claire warns him.

"Try" He pleads. She just smiles and kisses him. He hugs her waist, deepening the kiss. "I love you" He whispers.

"I love you more" He grins and kisses her forehead before going to find Hanna. Claire turns to Kol and Klaus.

"Both of you are going to be at breakfast with Madelyn and both of you are going with us to take her to school," Claire told them both sternly. "I would appreciate it if you tried to come home earlier tomorrow, just for a little bit."

"Hmm, spend more time with Marcel or come home to see Madelyn? Such a tough decision" Kol says sarcastically. Claire smiles and rolls her eyes. The two of them kiss. Claire ends up giggling as Kol lifts her off the ground and spins her around. "You'll be seeing more of me, I promise"

"Good," She tells him which brightens his smile. It pangs her heart slightly at how happy he seems to always be whenever she tells him or shows him that she wants him around or wants to see him more often. "I love you," She tells him sternly. He caresses her cheek softly.

"I know, Angel" He promises. "And I love you" He grins. She smiles and gives him another kiss.

"Breakfast and then school," She says to Klaus.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world" Klaus promises. "Get some sleep, you need it" He kisses her softly. "I love you" She whispers the words back to him before watching him go. She figured he's off to find Elijah.

"Princess" Claire turns to Finn. He holds out his hand towards her. She instantly takes it. He lifts her hand to his lips, kissing the back lightly. "Let's get to bed" He whispers. She smiles and lets him take her up to their room.

Claire lets go of his hand. He closes the door behind them. Claire takes her shirt off and pauses in front of the mirror. Her hand rubs her stomach. There's a small bump. It's barely noticeable, a person would simply think she gained weight but she knew better.

"Perfection" Finn whispers walking up behind her. Her eyes move from her stomach's reflection to Finn's. His chest leans against her back. His arms wrap around her, his large hands covering her stomach. "I love you" he whispers against her neck. He gently peppers her skin with his delicate kisses. 

Her body begins to relax. Her hand reaches up and back, she cups his neck, holding him close. Her head rests on his shoulder. His teeth nip at her skin. She arches her neck, pushing it against his mouth. His fangs elongate and gently penetrate her neck.

She moans and pushes her body into his. His arms tighten as he drinks from her. He growls animalistically, it instantly increases her arousal. He slowly pulls away and licks the wound clean. 

She spins in his arms and pulls him into a passionate kiss. He backs her into the wall and picks her up. Her legs wrap around his waist, her hands go to his hair. He pulls away slightly. She tries to reconnect their lips but he leans back again.

"What's wrong?" She whispers caressing his face.

"Are you happy?" He asks pressing his forehead on hers.

"I am happy when I'm with you when I'm with your brothers. I'm happy in the simple moments, the intimate moments, the carefree moments. I'm happy when I can watch my daughter go on and on about her day without a care in the world." She tells him. "Maybe you should take everyone's advice and don't stress" She smiles at him. "Now kiss me, you handsome devil"

"Yes, ma'am" He grins and presses his lips on hers again. She moans against him. He carries her to the bed and gently lays her down.

"I'm all yours Mr. Mikaelson," She tells him grinning. "What are you going to do with me?" He grins and a growl rumbles from his chest. He flashes on top of her. His head hovers over hers.

"Make you forget your own name" He whispers. His eyes pour into hers. She goes to kiss him but he goes down her body. Her head presses into the pillow as he kisses her chest, her stomach, her scars.

Claire closes her eyes. She forces herself to focus on Finn. She could feel memories, worries, stress trying to take over her mind but she wouldn't let it. Right now, she's with Finn and all she wants to think about is his touch.

Before she knows it, any clothes that were covering her body now cover various parts of the floor along with his own. Claire manages to flip them over so he's laying on his back. He smiles at her while she straddles his lap.

She kisses his lips lightly before sitting up. She lifts her body before sinking down on him. She gasps and moans. Even after all the times, she's been with him, he still fills her to the brim. She still clenches around him like it's their first time, only now it isn't as painful.

His hands grip her waist. He lifts and lowers her body to a steady rhythm. Her hands grip his forearms. Her head rolls back, her mouth ajar. He sits up and hugs her to him. His lips kiss her neck while hers kiss his head. She rotates her hips, her hands gripping his shoulders.

He kisses her collar bone, her shoulders, everything he can reach. He tilts his head back and she lowers hers. Their lips connect. His hands grip her ass. He squeezes and massages it.

He rolls her onto her back and picks up a steady pace. He slowly goes faster. Her fingers claw at his back. He grunts and growls. Her breathing quickens as she feels herself get closer and closer. She cries out pleasurably as his pace quickens so fast that she wonders if it's even a human pace.

He presses his lips back onto hers. Her head is forced deep into the pillow. His thrusts slow but become rougher. He slams into her mercilessly yet kisses her passionately, as if he's pouring his very soul into hers.

Their lips disconnect moments before they both fall over the edge. She cries his name out as he breathes heavily in her neck. His body collapses on hers. He moves off to the side slightly, so he's not laying on her stomach.

"I love you" Claire whispers to him. Her eyes drooping as the exhaustion of the day catches up to her.

"I love you, Princess" He whispers in return. He rolls onto his back and pulls her into him. "Get some sleep" He whispers. She smiles kissing his chest.
